Smile for a Cure's Page

Smile for a Cure and the National Canine Cancer Foundation thanks you for your generous donation!

Your donation to our new, "Smile for a Cure" campaign," is intended to rally every person who loves dogs to step up the transformation of research into treatments and cures that can soon benefit all dogs fighting for their lives because of Cancer.

This campaign offers you a rare chance to participate in this decisive process. Your support means helping us pay for the development of innovative therapies. It means funding the research that will culminate in a cure for Cancer. The sense of urgency is clear, yet it comes with the hope that we are nearing our goal.

With your help, we can get there and save the lives of so many wonderful dogs living with cancer.

About Smile for a Cure:

Smile for a Cure was started by Nunthany Johnson, a dog lover and photographer in honor of her dog Max, who passed away from canine cancer in 2009. She is now joined by wonderful pet photographer's all across the country in a national effort to support canine cancer research! To learn more about Smile for a Cure, visit www.smileforacure.org.

A special Thank You goes out to all those who have donated in Max's honor - because of you thousands of dollars have been raised for this extraordinary cause.

"Thank you Nunthany for taking the time and for traveling so far to take Pictures of Sunni, She was really taken with you, I think she has a little crush on you!!! As you know Sunni is living with Cancer and is doing fine, she has good days and not so good days, but she is a fighter and will not give up. Even though the Photo shot was very tiring for her, she proved to be a good little model! We know you were a blessing to Max and now you are a blessing to Sunni and us, Please keep up the great work. James and Tamara",
